Sampāti clashed with Rāvaṇa on his way and destroyed his plane. But the plane, which was self-generating came again into existence. Sampāti threw away by its beak the Candrahāsa (Rāvaṇa’s sword) and kicked his crown down. At last, at the request of Rāvaṇa, he Sampāti signed a non-aggression pact. That was the reason why Sampāti could not fight Rāvaṇa in person. - [Previous: c9.172](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.172) - [Next: c9.174](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.174) - [Up: c9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.173](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.173) · Pramāṇa
